I reiterate my point, this guy was flying "under the radar", even when he was on parole. Just imagine what fun he had when the parole actually ended based on his good behavior. I think any missing young girls within a certain radius of his prior known addresses should be considered a possible victim of his, from the time he stepped out of prison right up until Chelsea was killed. We, at this point, have no idea what his MO was, how often he got this urge to destroy young girls. The only reason he got caught, is Chelsea's parents were so quick to jump on the fact that their daughter was missing and not responding to their calls. IMO it forced him to do a very sloppy cover up compared to Amber's case. I'm sure it was probably in his plan to move Chelsea's car away from the crime (and perhaps her body along with it). I simply think he didn't have the time and he may have been there when Chelsea's dad came looking for her. JMO
Anyway, this was posted on the Chelsea thread by SWAG1959, yesterday, which just proves my point about the lax parole he was on:
Just came across this updated article about JAG and breaking parole. Don't know if anyone else has posted this yet - has more info than the first.
APNewsBreak: Calif. murder suspect broke parole

The parole records show state officials found Gardner illegally living within a half-mile of a school in September 2007 and decided to keep him on parole. The records show at least five later violations, the last on Sept. 8, 2008, just 18 days before Gardner was let go from parole supervision and his location-tracking GPS bracelet removed from his ankle.
Each time, the decision was "COP:" Continue on Parole.
He wasn't sent back to prison in September 2007 because he corrected the residency violation by moving away from a college campus that had a day care center, Hidalgo said.
He had six other technical violations — one more than shown in the records obtained by the AP, Hidalgo said.
